4.    We raise up our efforts in sharing the Gospel – especially for: … our August "Mission of the Month" – Jeremy Dembowski's Eagle Scout project of constructing of a storage shed on the playground (your gifts of $541 so far will be applied the approximate $900 cost of materials); … our Kansas District Schools, at the news from the Kansas State Department of Education that National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) will not be accepted jointly with Kansas Education Systems Accreditation (KESA) for 2017-2018.  Let's "cultivate awesome relationships for eternity!"

5.    We pray for our Nation: seeking the Lord's blessing over those in our Armed Forces, especially those deployed or at distant posts: Bill Bailey (Middle East); Ryan Griffith (England); Hilary Klotz (Kuwait); Tyler Timmons (Germany).  God Bless America!
